Mr. Prashant Kapoor, Vice President of Outlook Money was the guest speaker and facilitator who gave insights about various options available in the industry for students specialising in finance.
He elucidated certain options and revealed how vast the financial industry is. His experience of 13 years in the corporate sector was evident in the way he handled the queries of the students. Mr. Prashant Kapoor discussed in detail about public finance, corporate finance and personal finance as the potential career alternatives ahead for the interested students.
A much more comprehensive discussion was held regarding investment banking, treasury, corporate development and financial management analysis during the session on request of the students.
